Vietnames Hong Kong

More than 300 Vietnamese-Americans quietly demonstrated Sunday in front of the British Consulate in Los Angeles, protesting last week's forced repatriation of Vietnamese refugees from the British colony of Hong Kong. Demonstrators received no response from inside the closed consulate offices on Wilshire Boulevard. They held signs, flags from the Republic of Vietnam, which fell to Vietnamese Communists in 1975, and a six-foot version of the Statue of Liberty.
